Do you remember what it said on the end of the bolt?
I purchased Roc-Lon tea-dyed muslin that said "pre-shrunk" on the end of the bolt.
Ha! That shrank a LOT wen I washed it. Sure glad I didn't believe the label.

I've never heard of fabric shrinking that much. Of course I don't wash in hot water either.
I'd take it back with your receipt showing the amount you bought and show the manager. If you don't get results, ask for the dist. mgr.'s address and write them.

thanks very much for this alert. you stated the facts, let us know the results of your inquiry, and resisted the urge to rant and rave about it.
this is valuable information. it also reminds me that i should keep better track of the manufacturer, the name of the fabric, and where i bought it. that information isn't always printed on the selvages. if i wrote all that on my copy of the order form, i'd be better able to remember which bargains were bargains, and which were not.
i am starting a notebook today!
thanks again. :thumbup:
